Medals of Honor have been rare since the end of the Vietnam war. And not one of the recipients from the recent deployments have been alive to have the iconic blue ribbon with the gold star draped around his neck. Until now. On Tuesday, Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta will be awarded the nation's highest medal for valor for his actions in Afghanistan.

It was a great day but a sad day for the troops and the veterans for this united states of america.For such a humble soldier to be giving the greatest honor a soldier could get but to lose two great friends the medal of honor.I salute this young man and others before him and those that will come behind him.May they all be so humble and give theirselves as this young man has."DUTY-HONOR-COUNTRY".
It is a shame that a fairy tale wedding would show preference to our news networks than something as brave as this.My jeers for not covering this event so all the american people would see it also in all its limelight.My kudos to cspan for carring this great event.
